PATNA: The Patna High Court on Wednesday directed the Bar Council of India (BCI) to file on affidavit by May 14 the inspection report of the condition of different law colleges in the state. A division bench, comprising Chief Justice J N Bhatt and Justice Shailesh Kumar Sinha, directed the BCI to suggest measures for improvement of legal education in the law colleges of different universities of Bihar. The directive was issued on a PIL initiated suo motu by the high court in view of the deteriorating condition of the law colleges in the state like the premier Patna Law College, which, in the past, had produced several legal luminaries and eminent jurists in the country. Amicus curiae M P Gupta submitted that legal education had deteriorated in the state due to dearth of law teachers, particularly the permanent law teachers. This is the case with the Patna Law College as well, which has only one permanent lecturer in the faculty even as the remaining posts of permanent lecturers are lying vacant, he added. The judges remarked that a good legal education is necessary for producing quality lawyers for a sound democratic system. The BCI submitted that it had recently carried out inspection of different law colleges in the state and derecognised most of them as they lacked the requisite infrastructure to run a good law college.
